#hellohalloween Nestled in a lush, green setting, evam eva yamanashi is a beautiful complex where apparel (“Color”), a gallery (“Form”), and a restaurant (“Taste”) come together to create a serene experience rooted in nature and craft. During our visit, the gallery Form was hosting a solo exhibition titled “Silent Temperature” by Tobimatsu Toki. Each piece is made using a slip casting technique with porcelain, giving off a soft, warm glow. A staff member kindly demonstrated how the lighting changes with and without natural sunlight—an inspiring and thoughtful moment that showed just how delicately the works were crafted. 📍evam eva yamanashi #artgalleryvisit #yamanashijapan #designinspo #hiddenretreat #evameva

If you go into the mountains, you will find a building that stands quietly☺︎ There is parking space for a few cars, but it seems that reservations are required for lunch! I was lucky enough to be able to eat there🤍 It was very delicious, looked lovely, and had a gentle taste!! ! The grape and other fruit juices were also very delicious! After eating lunch, we moved to the tea room and enjoyed tea and Japanese sweets🍵✴︎ In addition to the dining area, there were clothes and stylish buildings on the premises! Also, since we went in the fall, the autumn leaves were very beautiful☺️ Delicious, carefully selected food and a stylish space I want to go again🤍🤍 #evamevayamanashi #Yamanashi #YamanashiPrefecture #YamanashiTourism #YamanashiTrip #Lunch #YamanashiLunch #StylishLunch
